Mixed Vegetables Soup (Tessa Kiros) - cooked in thermal cooker

Here's an excerpt from her book, Falling Cloudberries: "This is a soup that my mother made often. When I asked her for the recipe she said she just put all the vegetables she could get into a big pot and covered them with water. But it had to have butternut squash. Sometimes she served it with raw, chopped-up red onions, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil over the top. You can add any other vegetables you like to make a huge healthy stockpot that will feed a multitude."

How to:1. Put beans and vegetables in a deep saucepan. Add the bay leaves. Cover with about 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat and cook, partly covered, for about 45 minutes.

2. Off the heat and
taste; add salt if necessary. Serve with a good drizzle of olive oil and
some freshly ground black pepper. This soup is good served warm or at
room temperature.

Note: I cook this soup with my 5.5L stainless steel thermal cooker. I bring the ingredients to a boil in the stainless steel inner pot over the stove, decrease the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Then, I off the heat and transfer the inner pot into the thermal cooker, close the lid, and let it stay inside for another 30 minutes. Photos below.

Done!

I keep some leftover soup in the fridge so that I can use it as the soup base to cook my toddler's kelp noodles soup the next day.

I love Tessa's cookbooks and recipes. The recipes are very family friendly and the cookbooks are the prettiest cookbooks of all. This soup looks hearty and delicious. Never seen a kelp noodle before, but I"m sure I'd love them!
